FOR YOUR

HEALTH AND COMFORT

B efore you read of the different kinds of heating, air
conditioning and plumbing equipment available to
the modern home, consider first their importance to the
comfort and health of your family.

Home comfort and health have advanced so far in the past
half century, that they are too often taken for granted.
That, of course, is as it should be. It is the aim of the men
who developed them to their present degree of perfection
that you should enjoy their advantages without concern
over their mechanical means of functioning. Today you
may snap a switch and flood your home with springtime
while winter’s icy winds rage out-of-doors. You turn a
faucet and water gushes forth: clean, pure, sparkling
. . . hot or cold.

But what would your home be like without these miracles
which today are commonplace? Even with all its other

modern equipment and labor-saving devices your home
would still be uncomfortable — and for at least six months
of the year, almost unlivable. For it’s the comfort and
protection of heating and plumbing that let you enjoy all
the other features of your home.

It’s important now to remember the importance of good
heating, air conditioning and plumbing — so that you can
forget them later; to select equipment with care — that you
may have comfort without care.

And fully as important is the fact that all of the equip-
ment shown in these pages is backed by the undivided
responsibility of the world’s greatest health and comfort
organization: one name that is known for quality and de-
pendability wherever men use modern methods of safe-
guarding their health and comfort through heating, air
conditioning and plumbing.

WHAT GOOD HEATING
MEANS TO YOUR HOME

Y ou can spend a fortune on the furnishings
and decorations — but neither your family
nor your guests will get much pleasure out of
them if the rooms are cold or chilly, or if
drafts endanger their health. Entertaining
friends, listening to the radio, playing games,
reading . . . they’re all part of the pleasures
of home only when it is comfortably warm.
Good heating lets you enjoy the real spirit of
true family life.

There is one other very practical point that
should not be overlooked. An investment in
good heating now pays cash dividends later in
lower heating costs, lower upkeep and better
health. And good heating doesn’t mean expen-
sive heating — but proper heating, properly
sized and properly installed.

The type of equipment and its cost depend
entirely on the kind of home and how much
you can afford to spend. Whether you can
afford to spend a lot or just a little, you can
depend on it that American Heating Equip-
ment in your budget range will give you the
best kind of heating you can buy for the
money.

COAL FIRED
BOILERS

W hat fuel will you use?

That’s up to you to decide.
If it’s coal, to be fired by hand,
then choose one of these Ideal
Boilers. Modern improvements have
reduced to a minimum the work
involved in tending them, while
increasing the economy which made
them famous. They are made of
cast iron proven by long experi-
ence to be the best for the purpose.
And each of them is easily converted
to burning any other fuel if you
should ever decide to change.

I F YOU want to burn coal with the
advantages of automatic stoker
firing you’ll get the best out of your
stoker with an Ideal or Kewanee
Round Boiler designed for stoker
operation.

That means you’ll get the maximum
saving in fuel cost, for economy is
the watchword of these boilers. It
means thermostatic control day and
night. An ample supply of domestic

FLICK OF A FINGER

A woman who has to be at home with the
. heating plant ah' day can really appre-
ciate the advantages of automatic heat. She
knows that being a housewife is work enough
without having to do the firing too.

But automatic heating has more than labor
saving to commend it. It’s cleaner — means
less dusting, less housework. It’s constant —
keeps the desired temperature in the house
without fussing or adjustment. It’s healthier,
too: there’s less chance of colds when heating
is even.

Today, you needn’t limit yourself to one type
of fuel if you want automatic heating. There
are Ideal Boilers for automatic heating with
any fuel: coal, oil or gas. Each has advan-
tages of its own and it’s up to you to compare
and choose. Whichever way you decide, one
of these Ideal Boilers will give you the best
service for the fuel you’ve selected.

T he Arcoflame isn’t just another oil
burner. It’s the answer to a demand
for a burner that is the last word in sound
engineering, and developed by experts who
know all about home heating.

The hot, clean flame, burning exactly cor-
rect proportions of air and oil, whirled into
its scientific sunflower shape, transfers
more heat to the heat absorbing surfaces
of the boiler . . . gets it there quicker
and burns less oil doing it. It keeps the
boiler or furnace cleaner, too.

The Arcoflame Conversion Burner will
fit your present boiler or furnace. But for
oil heating at its best, you’ll choose an
Arcoflame Balanced Heating Unit.
Here boiler and burner are one — matched
and balanced to wring every last bit of
heat from fevery drop of oil.

SUNRAD

S treamlined and beautiful,
Sunrad is the smartest
radiator introduced in recent
years. It looks like concealed
radiation, but it has no en-
closure. That handsome front
you see is the Sunrad itself.
That good-looking grille is
part of it too. It’s a complete,
integral unit that sends active
radiant heat from top, front
and sides . . . while convected
heat pours from the upper
grille to ward off cold drafts
from the window. It’s safe for
children to play on the floor
when Sunrad’s even warmth
protects them.

The three illustrations at the
right show three different
ways in which the Sunrad
may be installed. Entirely
free-standing, semi-recessed or
entirely recessed. It is particu-
larly suited for installation
where space is limited.

I f you want all of the advantages of radiator
heating, but prefer to have the radiators entirely
out of the way, the Arco Convector is made
for you.

The Arco Convector is made for concealed instal-
lation only and possesses special advantages of design
which are reflected in better heating. In order to
function they must be enclosed and this is accom-
plished most efficiently and attractively with Arco
Enclosures, described on the next page.

Arco Convectors are scientifically engineered to
provide a rapid and continuous flow of warmed air
into the rooms, resulting in quick heating of room
space, and corresponding economy in operation.

A nothhr smart, out of the way radiator, aptly
- named the Fantom because it blends so
perfectly with its surroundings. Usually hung on
the wall under windows. Its
smooth surfaces collect no
dirt. It is high above the
floor for easy sweeping.

That solid front means the
solid comfort of more radiant
heat; while from the top
comes warm air to blanket
cold windows. Upper and
lower grilles if you want them,
give the finishing touch.

ALL -/"XHEATING EQUIPMENT IS TESTED
IN THE WORLD’S LARGEST HEATING LABORATORY

Tn a pleasant suburb of New York City stands an
attractive white building with no other identification
than a small metal plaque on front that reads

INSTITUTE OF THERMAL RESEARCH

This is the laboratory where thermal experts carry on the

research which has helped to bring heating and air condi-
tioning to today’s high levels. Here, too, American
Heating Equipment undergoes constant and rigid exam-
ination under conditions far more severe than they will
ever meet in normal use.

In one room is a line of boilers under fire day and night,
while technicians study the relationship of the fuel they
burn to the heat they give . . . study the effect of some
small change in design on efficiency and economy. In
another, radiators are being tested — for heat emission
per square inch of surface . . . for actual working effi-
ciency . . . for tightness and strength.

Each piece of equipment has its own kind of test; yet
every test is conducted with one object in view: that
you, as the purchaser, will get heating equipment that
embodies the latest improvements and refinements, for
utmost efficiency, economy and satisfaction.

You’ve been hearing a lot about air-conditioning
in the past few years. To some folks it’s a subject
full of mystery. But there’s no mystery about it.
You can have an air-conditioning system in your
home as easily as you can have any other kind of
heating system. Nothing complicated in your
basement, nothing hard to understand. There’s
just a unit that warms, filters and humidifies the
air, then sends it up through ducts and attractive
registers into each room. The most important
thing to remember is the name SUNBEAM.
That’s your guarantee.

CONDITIO

M ost of us are pretty fussy
about what we eat and
drink. We make sure that our
water is clean and unpolluted. We
make sure of the way we buy, pro-
tect and prepare food. In fact, the
government sets up standards for
the food we are going to eat in
order to protect our health.

But there’s one thing that a human
being consumes more of than food
and drink and that is air. And
until recently very little attention
was paid to the air we breathe. Do you know that the
average person uses 34 pounds of air a day as against 7
pounds of food and drink? That 60% of our energy comes
from the air we breathe and only 40% from what we eat?

Surely air so important in our daily lives deserves most
serious thought. Many people will say air is air and as long
as it is warm enough for comfort there isn’t much that
can or need be done about it.

A merican

But that’s where they’re wrong. Medi-
cal authorities agree that pure air is as
important as pure food and that im-
pure air is the reason for much of our
common winter ailments.

NED AIR

The dry, stuffy, impure air so often found in many homes
in winter irritates the membrane of the nose and throat
causing colds, bronchitis, sinus infections and other respira-
tory illnesses.

It makes housework harder too. Dust collects and seems to
stay no matter how much dusting is done. The piano gets
out of tune. Furniture cracks, table tops and picture
frames warp.

WHAT AIR CONDITIONING MEANS TO YOU

The importance of controlling the condition of the air in
your home cannot be stressed too emphatically. It means
too much in health, in comfort, and in the actual dollars-
and-cents value of your home and its furnishings. Today,
air conditioning is enjoying its greatest popularity because

people know these
facts. Fifty-five years
of making good home
heating equipment has
put Sunbeam in a posi-
tion to supply home air
conditioning that com-
pletely satisfies, at a
reasonable price.

2. Cleans the air — Sunbeam’s efficient filters
remove the germs, pollen and dirt from the air.

3. Moistens the air — The Sunbeam Spray Hu-

desert dry winter air of your home. A humidistat
automatically regulates the indoor humidity.

4. Circulates the air — The blower fan cir-
culates this pure, conditioned air uniformly to all
parts of your home. There are no "cold spots” in
a Sunbeam home.

5. Provides cooling ventilation — On hot
summer nights the blower draws in and circulates
cool evening breezes throughout the house, assur-
ing you a restful night’s sleep. A mechanical
cooling unit can be readily added at any time.

LET’S LOOK

According to reliable statis-
x\_tics, from one to five tons
of soot are distributed daily
over every square mile of the average in-
dustrial community.

However, the average person and par-
ticularly the average woman who’s run-
ning a home doesn’t need statistics to tell
her that the air is laden with dirt. She sees it when she dusts.
She sees it when she hangs out her wash. She sees it on the
windowsills and on the quickly smudged faces of the chil-
dren.

And if soot’s not enough there are millions of other im-
purities floating about in the air — germs, pollen, dust and
dirt. Fifteen times a minute our lungs inhale . . . draw into
our sensitive breathing organs all of this foreign matter.
Then people wonder why they suffer from sore throats, colds
and other respiratory ailments.

All of this, you’re likely to say and rightfully so, is like
the weather. You can talk about it, but there’s not much
you can do about it because these conditions have existed
for years.

However, something can be done. Thanks to Sunbeam s

AT THE AIR WE BREATHE

modern winter air conditioning equipment, these impurities
can be filtered from the air in your home completely and
automatically without any attention on your part.

In the Sunbeam Air Conditioner is a series of thick filters
of a fibrous material which are coated with an adhesive sub-
stance. The air from your rooms is drawn through these
filters and the dirt, dust, soot and other foreign matter is
trapped. Thus, this dirt is prevented from being re-circu-
lated to the rooms in your home. The quantity of foreign
matter which is collected by the filters in a few months is
surprising, even in comparatively new homes.

The filters in the Sunbeam Air Conditioner possess a high
cleaning efficiency and an ample storage capacity that offers
but little resistance to air circulation long after other types
of filters are completely clogged. Filters are easily replaced
at low cost.

Taking the dirt out of the air in your home is but one of
the things that Sunbeam Air Conditioning does. Besides
safeguarding the health of your family, this air filtering
saves housework. There’s less dusting . . . curtains and
drapes stay clean longer . . . walls, floors, rugs and other
furnishings require less attention.

HOW THE AIR IS CLEANED

Air from your rooms enters the Sunbeam Air Con-
ditioning Unit through the Blower-Filter compart-
ment shown below, and is drawn through the mass
of fibrous material which is in each filter. The
fibrous material is coated with an odorless, sticky
adhesive which traps the particles of foreign matter.
The air receives a thorough scrubbing as it wipes
against the dust absorbing substance and the maxi-
mum of foreign matter is extracted. This clean,
filtered air is then delivered, by the blower, to the
heating compartment to be warmed and then cir-
culated to the rooms.

DRY AIR ENDANGERS HEALTH

I N summer, but one person in fifty suffers from respiratory
ailments; in winter, one in ten falls victim — evidence of the
dry unhealthful air in homes during the cold months.

But the Sunbeam conditioned home has no dry air problem. It’s
June in every room all winter long. Automatic humidifying
equipment helps maintain the proper moisture in the home . . .
reduces illness . . . helps you feel better, more comfortable, at
lower, more healthful temperatures.

Thus the humidification provided by Sunbeam not only aids
health, but reduces fuel costs. And it helps to preserve your
furniture and other household possessions by preventing them
from drying out. So you see, you save money all around.

HUMIDIFYING

EQUIPMENT

As moisture is re-
quired in your rooms,
the humidistat (right)
starts the humidifier
(located in warm air
duct directly above
Heating Compart-
ment) throwing a fine
spray into the air,
which is absorbed be-
fore the air is circu-
lated. Depending on
the size of your home,
5 to 25 gal. of water
a day should be added
to the air in winter.

POOR VENTILATION CAUSES DROWSINESS AND FATIGUE

t

I t’s not the company . . . not the hour . . . but bad venti-
lation that starts guests yawning while the evening is still
young. Stale air takes its toll in pleasure as well as health. City
regulations require theatres and other public buildings to con-
stantly refresh their air supply.

And Sunbeam does the same thing in your home. Changes the
air four or five times an hour. Sends it through each room clean,
warmed, refreshed — in a gentle, draftless movement that is in-
vigorating of itself.

The blower of the Sunbeam Air Conditioner (shown below)
operates so quietly, you’ll never know it’s there. And it operates
automatically too, as do the heating, humidifying and cleaning.

Registers and Grilles can be installed in baseboard or walls. They save floor
space and can be finished to harmonize with any decorative scheme.

HUMIDISTAT . . .

THERMOSTAT

UNIFORM HEALTHFUL WARMTH IN EVERY ROOM

Sunbeam automatic controls add to your leisure hours and
provide you and your family with ideal, healthful indoor
climate with little or no effort on your part. You make a
three-way savings . . . work, fuel and time.

It is difficult to control the heating of large or rambling
houses by only one thermostat. Sunbeam provides evenly
distributed warmth in such homes through Zone Control.
The rooms are grouped into "zones” of one room or several
rooms each. A thermostat located in one room of each zone
regulates the heat supply of that zone. If only one zone
requires additional heat, the system delivers warm, condi-
tioned air to that one zone without overheating the balance
of house and wasting fuel. The desired temperature is auto-
matically maintained in every part of the house.

SUMMER COOLING • THROUGH COOLING VENTILATION
THROUGH MECHANICAL COOLING EQUIPMENT

One big advantage you have when you Air Condition
your home with Sunbeam, is that you can have cooling
ventilation with the same system in summer. Merely by
turning on the blower at night, you dissipate the heat
that’s collected during the day, and circulate cool night
air through the house.

At the time you install your winter air conditioning
system or later a mechanical cooling unit may be added.
The same ducts used for winter air conditioning are used
for delivering cooled, dehumidified air in summer.

T he warmth the Sunbeam pro-
vides is more than mere heat. It
is a kind of warmth such as you have
probably never experienced in your
home. Air is warmed — to the tem-
perature you select on the thermo-
stat. This delightfully warmed air, filtered and moistened air,
is gently but positively forced by pressure from the blower
into every corner of the house. Such positive, controlled dis-
tribution of heat eliminates "cold spots” near the windows,
keeps floors warm, and assures uniform house temperatures.

than that of storing unwanted things.
Now, many people have discovered in
it remarkable possibilities for a com-

other. To satisfy everybody’s reasonable preferences, Sunbeam

OIL

I f you are seeking a dependable, efficient, moderately
priced oil fired air conditioning unit, you will find in the
Series 1100 the equipment which is ideal for your home.

This Series is specially engineered for oil firing. The burner,
as well as all other accessories, is completely concealed
within the trim, modern casing which is finished in attractive
green baked enamel.

The Arcoflame Oil Burner, which has many exclusive fea-
tures, is co-ordinated with the Series No. 1100 for silent,
fuel conserving, satisfactory operation. It is a pressure type
burner, designed and engineered to meet the demand for
automatic oil heat at low first cost and low operating cost.
Silent action and trouble-free operation have added to its
popularity. Designed to burn a cheaper grade of oil and to
burn it efficiently, the Arcoflame Oil Burner assures maxi-
mum economy.

The rugged heating element is constructed of boiler plate
steel notable for the rapidity with which it warms the air
and for its ability to withstand for many years, the strains
of intense heat and intermittent oil firing. The walls are
unusually heavy — approximately of an inch thick! All

seams are BOTH riveted and welded — doubly and perma-
nently sealed leakproof to prevent fumes escaping into the
air which circulates through your home. The illustration
at right demonstrates the thickness of the walls of the heat-
ing element. The picture of the riveted and welded seam

SUNBEAM WARM AIR FURNACES
FOR COAL - OIL - GAS

E verything you’ve said so far is true, and
everything you’ve shown me is fine. But
right now I’m interested in a gravity warm
air furnace and I need heating that’s as good
as I can get for as little as I can spend. What
about it?”

If this is your problem, then Sunbeam Warm
Air Furnaces are made for you. Their quality
has come from over 50 years’ experience in
furnace manufacturing and as for economy,
you’d think they were paying the fuel bills
themselves, they’re that thrifty.

They come in all types; steel and cast iron,
pipe and pipeless, small, medium and large.
In their own way they’re as well designed
and as soundly built as Sunbeam Air Condi-
tioning Units. There are special models for
coal, oil and gas — with extra little refine-
ments that help them do an extra good job
in each case.

So don’t let cost worry you. On low priced
equipment especially, a good name like Sun-
beam tells you you’re getting full value in
comfort and dependability for every dollar
you spend.

This cast furnace, Sunbeam Series 1000,
comes in both pipe and pipeless types.
Features include a heavy, cast iron heating
element that has proven its superiority in
hundreds of thousands of homes.

Y ou turn a faucet and water gushes
forth . . . clean, pure, taken for granted !
It is tribute to the part the Master Plumber
plays in our lives. It's his work, his knowl-
edge and his skill you toast each time you
raise a glass of water to your lips. Life is too
precious to endanger it by entrusting plumb-
ing to hands other than those best qualified
to assure health protection ... the Master
Plumbers.

T he trademark "Standard" as shown in the arrow has stood for
quality for half a century. It is a compliment to their quality that
people accept "Standard" Plumbing Fixtures without question.
Naturally, the way they’re made has a lot to do with the reason why
"Standard" enjoys this enviable reputation.

The gleaming surface and pleasing design are outward evidence of the
quality within that is built into every "Standard" Plumbing Fixture.
Highest grade materials go into the vitreous china, enameled cast iron
or Chromard Finished brass of "e$ftandard" Plumbing Fixtures. Some
fixtures on account of size, shape, or use are made of enameled iron,
others of vitreous china. Lavatories are made of both materials as either
are equally adaptable, though some designs lend themselves better to
one material than the other.

"Standard" vitreous china is extremely hard, smooth, permanently
non-absorbent and will not craze. Standard*' vitreous china ware
represents the successful attainment of making straight, strong and true
fixtures of this material.

All "Standard" baths, most kitchen sinks and many Standard"
lavatories are made of cast iron with a heavy coating of enamel. The
rigidity of the cast iron protects the beauty of the fixtures. Cast iron
is strong and thick and rigid, absorbing strains and preventing damage
to the finish.

A cast iron base too, permits a method of enameling which results in
a thicker coat with a higher gloss. It is easy to see that the heavier the
enamel the greater the serviceability and the longer it will retain its
original beauty.

Remember that "Standard" Acid-Resisting Enamel f^tattdard'A-R)
is acid-resisting throughout its entire thickness.

However, you needn’t concern yourself with any such technical data.
Make "Standard" your buy- word — let your Master Plumber’s years
of experience help you in selecting fixtures, and you’ll be certain that
your plumbing fixtures are every bit as good as they look.

Vitreous china is known for its high re-
sistance to wear and the long life of its
lustrous finish. Then too, the process lends
itself to the clean, modern lines so pop-
ular today, as shown in these models.
These, and the lavatories shown on the
second page following, are "Standard"

and permanently non-absorbent. They are
easy to clean and will not craze, nor be
marred or discolored by medicines or

T he lavatories on this and on second page following are made with
a thick coating of dry process enamel on rigid cast iron. When finished
in Acid-Resisting Enamel (^$tattdaEcf'A~R) , their wearing qualities and
ability to withstand medicines, acids and liquid cleaners is comparable to
vitreous china. In regular enamel they are just as beautiful and durable as in
0$tandarcf'A-R ) except they are not acid-resisting and are available only
in white. Their lower cost makes them particularly suitable for bathrooms
on a budget, for smaller homes, for second bathrooms in many homes or
for the maid’s bath in larger dwellings. Since they are available in all
Standard" colors (in Acid-Resisting enamel only) they place no obstacle
in the way of colorful bathrooms even at low cost.

T here is no price on beauty. Even with lowest priced equipment,
selected with discrimination and good taste, you can design a bathroom
distinctively different. Color is your first and most economical means of
obtaining individuality. While colored fixtures lend extra charm and
distinction, white fixtures are always good with any color scheme.

Stylists will be glad to help you with color schemes and com-
binations for bathrooms in any budget range.

Where storage space is limited, consider the use of cabinet models, such as
the Hexagon on this page, and the Daltonett on second page preceding.
These include roomy, convenient extra space for towels or medicines while
providing a new and clever note in decoration. Piping, of course, is concealed
by the cabinet, but is always readily accessible.

roomier space, are shown on fourth page follow-

advantages of a bath only four feet square:

It fits into wall lengths too short for the aver-
age bath; saves space in the bath between two
bedrooms; leaves room for closet or storage
without reducing bathroom floor space; makes
it possible in fact to plan smart, roomy bath-
rooms in hitherto difficult places or bring new
luxury to rooms of normal size.

A water closet has moving parts which must
operate while totally immersed in water. This
fact makes your choice of the closet a particularly
important one.

"Standard" Closets are noted for their superior
design and sound mechanical construction. They
are made of vitreous china completely non-

Here are the leaders of a line which provide for all
requirements and any budget:

The One-Piece Closet is like the Master One-Piece

of the former is round instead of elongated.
The Custom Madera and the Elongated Compact,

while bowl and tank are bolted together, have the
desirable smart one-piece appearange. The Cadet
and Compton, also two-piece bolted combinations,
provide "Standard" dependability at low cost.

The Modernus is a syphon action washdown closet
with jet. It meets fully the demand for strictest
economy.

All "Standard" closets are furnished with famous
Church Sani-Seats in the same color as the fixtures,
with either plain or pearl finish.

'5$teKdai.d"FITTINGS TO
COMPLETE THE HARMONY
OF YOUR FIXTURES

F or harmony of design and endur-
ing quality insist that the fittings
on your plumbing fixtures be marked
"Standard". These fine brass goods —
all tarnish-proof Chromard Finish — are
styled to match Standard" Fixtures.
They possess the same high quality of
workmanship and material and are
sturdy and mechanically correct in con-
struction.

Four distinct styles are illustrated here.
Each motif is carried through a com-
plete line of fittings for bath, shower,
lavatory and closet, so that unity of
design is achieved in these important
details as well as in the fixtures them-
selves. The many bathroom illustrations
throughout this book show how well the
various styles of fittings blend with dif-
ferent styles of fixtures.

Special crystal lever handles and crys-
tal knobs may be substituted on Neo-
Angle, Waldorf and Colonial trim.

THESE '£ta»dai-d" COLORS

GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO EXPRESS YOUR
INDIVIDUALITY IN BATHROOM
AND KITCHEN

C olor, used correctly, is by far the
most pleasant and economical
means of creating individuality in bath-
room or kitchen. The eleven colors,
other rhan white, in which "Standard”
Plumbing Fixtures are available, offer
many possibilities.

Here is a palette of clear, glowing colors
. . . each selected by artists of interna-
tional repute, not for its vibrant beauty
alone, but as a key color which opens
the way to many superbly blended color
schemes.

The wide range of "Standard" colors
from the delicate pastels of Corallin and
Clair de Lune Blue to the rich jewel
tones of T’ang Red and Royal Copen-
hagen Blue may be adapted to any taste.
With them you can create, according to
your own preference, bathrooms and
kitchens that are simple or luxurious,

handsome pastels or dramatic splashes
of gay color.

Investigate the types of wall and floor
material. Here again is great variety
ranging from wallboard with its color-
ful baked finish to the subtle elegance
of imported marble. Towels, bathmats,
and curtains are made today in a wealth
of hues and patterns. With so many
colors to choose from, it is unwise and
unnecessary to try to match fixtures and
walls. Select colors and textures which
set off your fixtures, and you will find
that the beauty of walls and floors will
also show to better advantage.

These are your tools. From them you
can fashion practical bathrooms and
kitchens of which you may well be
proud. Remember that "Standard"
Stylists are always ready to aid you
without cost or obligation.

( ink and paper can come to the living sparkle of fine enamel
and pottery. Color, especially in the highly reflective sur-
faces of plumbing fixtures, takes on something of the color

of its background. Color also changes with the light, so
that these variations have been thoroughly considered when
assembling the "Standard" palette. To fully appreciate
their depth of tone and gleaming surface, you must see the
fixtures themselves. In addition to the superb colors listed
